DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

In the present disclosure, the optical system may comprise at least onelens element to receive imaging rays that are incident on the opticalsystem over a set of angles ranging from parallel to an optical axis toa half field of view (HFOV) angle with respect to the optical axis. Theimaging rays pass through the optical system to produce an image on animage plane. The term “a lens element having positive refracting power(or negative refracting power)” means that the paraxial refracting powerof the lens element in Gaussian optics is positive (or negative). Theterm “an object-side (or image-side) surface of a lens element” refersto a specific region of that surface of the lens element at whichimaging rays can pass through that specific region. Imaging rays includeat least two types of rays: a chief ray Lc and a marginal ray Lm (asshown in FIG. 1). An object-side (or image-side) surface of a lenselement can be characterized as having several regions, including anoptical axis region, a periphery region, and, in some cases, one or moreintermediate regions, as discussed more fully below.

FIG. 1 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 100. Tworeferential points for the surfaces of the lens element 100 can bedefined: a central point, and a transition point. The central point of asurface of a lens element is a point of intersection of that surface andthe optical axis I. As illustrated in FIG. 1, a first central point CP1may be present on the object-side surface 110 of lens element 100 and asecond central point CP2 may be present on the image-side surface 120 ofthe lens element 100. The transition point is a point on a surface of alens element, at which the line tangent to that point is perpendicularto the optical axis I. The optical boundary OB of a surface of the lenselement is defined as a point at which the radially outermost marginalray Lm passing through the surface of the lens element intersects thesurface of the lens element. All transition points lie between theoptical axis I and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lenselement. If multiple transition points are present on a single surface,then these transition points are sequentially named along the radialdirection of the surface with reference numerals starting from the firsttransition point. For example, the first transition point, e.g., TP1,(closest to the optical axis I), the second transition point, e.g., TP2,(as shown in FIG. 4), and the Nth transition point (farthest from theoptical axis I).

The region of a surface of the lens element from the central point tothe first transition point TP1 is defined as the optical axis region,which includes the central point. The region located radially outside ofthe farthest Nth transition point from the optical axis I to the opticalboundary OB of the surface of the lens element is defined as theperiphery region. In some embodiments, there may be intermediate regionspresent between the optical axis region and the periphery region, withthe number of intermediate regions depending on the number of thetransition points.

The shape of a region is convex if a collimated ray being parallel tothe optical axis I and passing through the region is bent toward theoptical axis I such that the ray intersects the optical axis I on theimage side A2 of the lens element. The shape of a region is concave ifthe extension line of a collimated ray being parallel to the opticalaxis I and passing through the region intersects the optical axis I onthe object side A1 of the lens element.

Additionally, referring to FIG. 1, the lens element 100 may also have amounting portion 130 extending radially outward from the opticalboundary OB. The mounting portion 130 is typically used to physicallysecure the lens element to a corresponding element of the optical system(not shown). Imaging rays do not reach the mounting portion 130. Thestructure and shape of the mounting portion 130 are only examples toexplain the technologies, and should not be taken as limiting the scopeof the present disclosure. The mounting portion 130 of the lens elementsdiscussed below may be partially or completely omitted in the followingdrawings.

Referring to FIG. 2, optical axis region Z1 is defined between centralpoint CP and first transition point TP1. Periphery region Z2 is definedbetween TP1 and the optical boundary OB of the surface of the lenselement. Collimated ray 211 intersects the optical axis I on the imageside A2 of lens element 200 after passing through optical axis regionZ1, i.e., the focal point of collimated ray 211 after passing throughoptical axis region Z1 is on the image side A2 of the lens element 200at point R in FIG. 2. Accordingly, since the ray itself intersects theoptical axis I on the image side A2 of the lens element 200, opticalaxis region Z1 is convex. On the contrary, collimated ray 212 divergesafter passing through periphery region Z2. The extension line EL ofcollimated ray 212 after passing through periphery region Z2 intersectsthe optical axis I on the object side A1 of lens element 200, i.e., thefocal point of collimated ray 212 after passing through periphery regionZ2 is on the object side A1 at point M in FIG. 2. Accordingly, since theextension line EL of the ray intersects the optical axis I on the objectside A1 of the lens element 200, periphery region Z2 is concave. In thelens element 200 illustrated in FIG. 2, the first transition point TP1is the border of the optical axis region and the periphery region, i.e.,TP1 is the point at which the shape changes from convex to concave.

Alternatively, there is another way for a person having ordinary skillin the art to determine whether an optical axis region is convex orconcave by referring to the sign of “Radius” (the “R” value), which isthe paraxial radius of shape of a lens surface in the optical axisregion. The R value is commonly used in conventional optical designsoftware such as Zemax and CodeV. The R value usually appears in thelens data sheet in the software. For an object-side surface, a positiveR value defines that the optical axis region of the object-side surfaceis convex, and a negative R value defines that the optical axis regionof the object-side surface is concave. Conversely, for an image-sidesurface, a positive R value defines that the optical axis region of theimage-side surface is concave, and a negative R value defines that theoptical axis region of the image-side surface is convex. The resultfound by using this method should be consistent with the methodutilizing intersection of the optical axis by rays/extension linesmentioned above, which determines surface shape by referring to whetherthe focal point of a collimated ray being parallel to the optical axis Iis on the object-side or the image-side of a lens element. As usedherein, the terms “a shape of a region is convex (concave),” “a regionis convex (concave),” and “a convex- (concave-) region,” can be usedalternatively.

FIG. 3, FIG. 4 and FIG. 5 illustrate examples of determining the shapeof lens element regions and the boundaries of regions under variouscircumstances, including the optical axis region, the periphery region,and intermediate regions as set forth in the present specification.

FIG. 3 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 300. Asillustrated in FIG. 3, only one transition point TP1 appears within theoptical boundary OB of the image-side surface 320 of the lens element300. Optical axis region Z1 and periphery region Z2 of the image-sidesurface 320 of lens element 300 are illustrated. The R value of theimage-side surface 320 is positive (i.e., R>0). Accordingly, the opticalaxis region Z1 is concave.

In general, the shape of each region demarcated by the transition pointwill have an opposite shape to the shape of the adjacent region(s).Accordingly, the transition point will define a transition in shape,changing from concave to convex at the transition point or changing fromconvex to concave. In FIG. 3, since the shape of the optical axis regionZ1 is concave, the shape of the periphery region Z2 will be convex asthe shape changes at the transition point TP1.

FIG. 4 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 400. Referringto FIG. 4, a first transition point TP1 and a second transition pointTP2 are present on the object-side surface 410 of lens element 400. Theoptical axis region Z1 of the object-side surface 410 is defined betweenthe optical axis I and the first transition point TP1. The R value ofthe object-side surface 410 is positive (i.e., R>0). Accordingly, theoptical axis region Z1 is convex.

The periphery region Z2 of the object-side surface 410, which is alsoconvex, is defined between the second transition point TP2 and theoptical boundary OB of the object-side surface 410 of the lens element400. Further, intermediate region Z3 of the object-side surface 410,which is concave, is defined between the first transition point TP1 andthe second transition point TP2. Referring once again to FIG. 4, theobject-side surface 410 includes an optical axis region Z1 locatedbetween the optical axis I and the first transition point TP1, anintermediate region Z3 located between the first transition point TP1and the second transition point TP2, and a periphery region Z2 locatedbetween the second transition point TP2 and the optical boundary OB ofthe object-side surface 410. Since the shape of the optical axis regionZ1 is designed to be convex, the shape of the intermediate region Z3 isconcave as the shape of the intermediate region Z3 changes at the firsttransition point TP1, and the shape of the periphery region Z2 is convexas the shape of the periphery region Z2 changes at the second transitionpoint TP2.

FIG. 5 is a radial cross-sectional view of a lens element 500. Lenselement 500 has no transition point on the object-side surface 510 ofthe lens element 500. For a surface of a lens element with no transitionpoint, for example, the object-side surface 510 the lens element 500,the optical axis region Z1 is defined as the region between 0-50% of thedistance between the optical axis I and the optical boundary OB of thesurface of the lens element and the periphery region is defined as theregion between 50%-100% of the distance between the optical axis I andthe optical boundary OB of the surface of the lens element. Referring tolens element 500 illustrated in FIG. 5, the optical axis region Z1 ofthe object-side surface 510 is defined between the optical axis I and50% of the distance between the optical axis I and the optical boundaryOB. The R value of the object-side surface 510 is positive (i.e., R>0).Accordingly, the optical axis region Z1 is convex. For the object-sidesurface 510 of the lens element 500, because there is no transitionpoint, the periphery region Z2 of the object-side surface 510 is alsoconvex. It should be noted that lens element 500 may have a mountingportion (not shown) extending radially outward from the periphery regionZ2.
